Explain the polarity in H_(2)O molecule.

Answer»

SOLUTION :Water molecule also consists of the dipoles. But water has a dipole moment of 1.85D. So water molecule is not linear. It has a bent SHAPE.
The MAGNITUDES of two dipoles (two O-H bonds) are EQUAL but they are not acting in opposite DIRECTIONS. So dipole moments donot cancel each other.
